[Casa-framework] Need code? (fwd)

[Tony Willis]

Ahem - well, at some time in the past when it became clear that
glish would no longer be the long-term scripting language
of choice, I was assured by, I believe, Joe McMullin, that
because an external customer (JAC / ACSIS) had committed to
the use of glish in critical system software, NRAO would
continue to provide glish support as needed.

However, like Tim says, my expectations of support are limited to
NRAO's ensuring that it compiles, links and works. I'm not expecting
any enhancements, bug-fixes, etc.

Cheers

Tony

Walther might wish to speak with Tony Willis, who will be at ASTRON from
Oct 12-28 or there abouts, about the ACSIS software.  Tony wrote most of
the Glish related stuff.
